Meet Elena, a Self-Employed Driver

Meet Elena, a
Self-Employed
Driver

Originally from Romania, Elena was previously a primary school teaching assistant and responsible for running a housekeeping team in a hotel – both roles she found time-consuming, exhausting and stressful. 

Elena was recommended to her role at Yodel by her brother-in-law as with two children, one still at home and one off to university, he thought being a Self-Employed Driver would be a more flexible and less stressful option for her. He was right. 

Almost a year later and Elena hasn’t looked back. She loves the control she has by being her own boss. She loves meeting people and delivering parcels they’re excited to receive. She loves the freedom of being outside, the changing seasons and the landscape. Elena says it is hard work at times and being organised is really important. But now she’s learnt the ropes and is up and running, she wouldn’t change it for the world.
